Windows Search has been something I've always avoided. Agreed, it is very awkward (relatively) and comparatively slow (searching for things on a PC, not the internet) whether using the limited Cortana My Stuff - which only seems to search indexed locations or trying to get a sensible result using explorer. Its only use to me is searching Settings.

Both have sophisticated search string and search specification options.

Now I've got Win 10 looking ok (note the Orb, transparency, Win 7 icons), I ignore Cortana, Win 10's start menu and the universal apps, use Thunderbird and Firefox, about the on;y thing that plagues me is the need to reconfirm associations on odd occasions which others have reported.

But I can understand people being frustrated with random bugs unaccountably reappearing or driver issues, for example.

At least you haven't had 'System and compressed memory' using excessive CPU plaguing you... not that I want to put you off..
